[QUOTE]Originally posted by Troll Patrol: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Anglo_the lying hog: [qb] [QUOTE]THIS IS WHY MODERN STUDIES SHOW THEM TO CLUSTER WITHIN AFRICAN TROPICAL ADAPTION! [/QUOTE]Fail. What study shows thin noses or wavy-straight hair having evolved in the tropical environment? This suggestion is retarded and defies evolution. The equivilant is saying Scandinavians have afros. [/qb][/QUOTE]I don't know if there is a study, but I know the REGION! AND THEREFORE I KNOW THE CLIMATE IS SUITED FOR THESE TRAITS! But I think Swenet or Zarahan can help you out with this, on a more scientific level. Therefore you fail! If what you claim was true, other groups in Asia would not have straight hair, dorky.

Such variation was already in place as part of Africa' built in genetic and phenotypic diversity. As regards diameter, the average diameter of the Semna sample was close to both the Northwest European and East African samples. This again suggests a range of built-in African indigenous variability, and calls into questions various migration theories to the Nile Valley. One study for example (Keita 2005) tested the model of C. Loring Brace (1993) as to the notion of incoming European migrants replacing indigenous peoples of the Nile Valley. Brace's work had also suggested a relationship between northwest Europeans such as Scandanavians and African peoples of the Horn. Data analysis failed to support this model, instead clustering samples much closer to African series than to Europeans. Keita concluded that similarities between African data in his survey (skulls, etc) and non-Africans was not due to gene flow, but a subset of built-in African variability. Ancient Egyptians cluster much closer to other Egyptians and Nubians. A later study by Brace, (Brace 2005- The questionable contribution..) groups ancient Egyptian populations like the Naqada closer to Nubians and Somalis than European, Mediterranean or Middle Eastern populations, and places various Nubians samples closer to Tanzanian, Dahomeian, and Congoid data points than to Europeans and Middle easterners. The limb proportion studies of Zakrzewski (2003) (Zakrzewski, S.R. (2003). "Variation in ancient Egyptian stature and body proportions". American Journal of Physical Anthropology 121 (3): 219-229.) showing the tropical body plan of the ancient Egyptians also undercuts theories of inflowing European or near Eastern colonists, or the 'native Europid' model of Strouhal (1971).[/QUOTE]Btw, your twist and tweak tactics showup general. loool [/QB][/QUOTE]
